    Share Share Post
    The opposite Scéal I (Proinnsias Ó Dubhthaigh OS) I had from an old man Mr John Downey who spent over sixty years in Rathfarnham and who came originally from Jenkinstown Co Killkenny. I heard this scéal also from his wife Mrs Mary Downey - both corresponded even in particulars. Told May 1925. Both these were over eighty years of age.
